Blue Ice Power Amp

[tony3d]

Ok, Not that I'm even thinking of buying one, I just bought a Crown xti 2000 for my home setup, I'm just curious what this Blue Ice 5000 power amp is all about? I have seen it as cheap as $269.00. Is this amp even a reasonable deal or just a toy. I have seen some photo's of it that seem to make you feel it's well built, and others that look very cheap.

I don't know about the Blue Ice, but if a person were looking for a cheap, powerful semi-pro amp that also has a good reputation for hi-fi use, I suggest the Behringer EP-1500; street price is under $300.
